Goal Type:

Boston Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

3:28 first marathon at the Rocket City Marathon in Huntsville, Alabama in 2006.  Since then, running has fallen by the wayside a little bit, still participate in the random 5k to 10k distance, but I've slowed down a good bit since high school--wasn't that fast to begin with unfortunately!

Short-Term Running Goals:

Run another marathon in Fall 2009 Spring 2010, and qualify once more for Boston.  Run Boston in the spring (2011?); participate in my first short-distance triathalon?!!?

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running for the rest of my life!

Personal:

I've just finished my degree in Microbiology.  My favorite things to do always involve the outdoors.  Running is my semi-serious sport, but I relax with climbing.  I guide rafts on the Arkansas river in Colorado during the summers, and I'm hoping to get into medical school in 2010.  Other than that, there's not much to me... I enjoy friends, good fresh vegetables and home-cooked food, my dog Pudding, talking to my family long-distance, and sleeping under the stars.  My most favorite thing in the world is water in its various forms (snow, ice, liquid), whether its a frozen waterfall or the ocean or the river.  A close second is trailrunning when I'm fit... though these days it's more of a struggle to get going than I'd like.
